This document contains amendments to IEC 61215-1-3 in clauses 3 Terms and definitions, 4 Test Procedures, 5 Marking and Documentation and 11 Test Flow and procedures.
This document specifies requirements for the design suitability of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for
long-term operation in outdoor climates. The useful life of modules so designated as suitable depends on their
modules depends on their design, the environment and the conditions under which they are operated.
they are operated. Test results are not interpreted as a quantitative prediction of module lifetime.
